Red Hook Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 One more thing....between these boards and all the back issues of CBM I've collected, (with many thanks to Michael Naiman), I've come to appreciate the GA era more and more. That's probably the most important factor of all. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Beautiful book Red. What was it about that book that convinced you to make the plunge? I'm always curious to know what makes a Silver Age collector put his toe in the Golden Age pond. Combination of things.....first off, I've wanted an Okajima pedigree book to add to my collection, because of the intriguing backstory (what there is off it) and I wanted one with the signature on it. Plus the Cole cover and the beautiful condition. And CW gave me a counteroffer I thought was very fair. And there you have it! A white cover Okajima is quite a book, moreso out of a slab than in. Glad to have you in the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there you have it! red, it is just a beautiful book. i'm after one [at least] of every g.a. pedigree, and i've got my eye on an o'jima that fits into one of my little runs. ain't saying what/where, just in case my big mouth led an adversary for the book to the feeding pen. i will say that if i do not win the book, the guy who does will have to like it alot because he will have paid a dear price for it.

Inaflash Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Well, after a rather disappointing week in comics starting off with two ebay purchases that were overgraded, I received this beauty yesterday. The colors are so vibrant on this book it has to be seen to be believed. I bought this from Metropolis shortly after they listed the run missing the #3, which I want the most, but this is a close second. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inaflash Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks for all the nice coments on the book. It does indeed have high gloss. The book looks like it was printed yesterday and has the typical MH white pages. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam, didn't you have a Church Slam Bang back in the day? #2 or #7? I remember a red cover. Hasn't senility hit you yet! Darn you and your memory! Used to have the #2 which is why I asked the question about the gloss. If it had the same gloss as the #2 (a fire engine red cover that I think Metro also has) then Ken's copy is quite a book!
